World News Google Maps Mashup

HeadlineMap is a great new Google Maps news mashup that combines current stories from many world news sources with a mapping interface. Depending on the region you are viewing news is being pulled from the largest regional news organizations and plotted for you by the story location. Other technical ingredients and content of this mashup include the Google Maps API, Topix.net and Flickr content. To zoom into a particular area double click on a continent, then choose a specific area from there if a sub-zoom level exists for that particular location. HeadlineMap is a great way to browse world news!
